Icts overuse in the European educational space. Interpreting the Icts overdose on learning outcomes

The paper is structured as follows: first, a brief survey of the literature relating to Icts and their impact on education performance is presented. The methodology is then established, and the specifications of the models are defined in order to present data analyses on the impacts of different uses of Icts on Pisa scores in Reading, Mathematics and Science for 15 European countries. The following sections outline the results of descriptive, comparative and statistical analyses and present partial correlation coefficients in order to assess the impact of Icts on educational performance. The final section provides concluding remarks and some policy implications.
